Oh shit I totally forgot to reply sorry! At first I used to struggle with liquid lipstick but it definitely gets easier with practice. I like to use lip liner and then colour in with the liquid lipstick after. I also like to use a little product on my bottom lip and rub my lips together so the line on the bottom of my lip is relatively straight / even if that makes sense? Sometimes I like using lip brushes too to get a really clean line.

I think Shimmering Lotus is going to be the next one I get! I have a 15% off coupon for anything in Sephora for the next week, so I just might pick it up when I go to the mall next I really like how natural looking you can make it look, but that you can also really build up the intensity if you want to!

OMG I was just at the store to pre-trip my shopping and swatch some stuff so I can think it allllll over, and I am scared of that lip stain. I was like oh shitttt. I feel like I just have such a small mouth, and I don't know if that's going to help me look like I have any fuller lips? I'm afraid that it's going to be soooo hard to apply with the doe-foot applicator and that I'm going to make a mess. Do you find that to be a problem? :/

But I did swatch the watercolour blushes and the cream contour kit, and I am so obsessed with it! It's crazy. Definitely considering that. Though the price of the contour kit with its brush is the same as the NAKED Smokey palette :/ 200$ just doesn't go far enough!

YASSS I just swatched a bunch of the water colour blushes and they are so gorgeous. I'm definitely getting one of those. Probably in Shimmering Lotus. I feel like it's a different colour and that the gold undertone helps my skin look so warm!

I am going to post a tutorial soon! I've been working on it for the last couple of days. Also they're having an extra redemption event this Saturday only! So instead of redeeming 50,000 points for 85$ you get 100$, or 95,000 points for 200$ instead of just 170$. I'm doing the 200$ redemption.

Omfg Toronto for co-op is so expensive and stressful. I feel you. Right now I don't even have a job though. It fell through. So I'm currently just looking at running away to Muskoka to run the white water canoeing and shit for this summer camp. At least it'll be fun?

omg the shopper's drugmart tutorial would be everything. as someone who is currently moving to toronto for co-op, crying over the prospect of how expensive that is going to be, but also wants to look like a goddamn glowy goddess while crying i need this in my life. because at the moment my idea of figuring out this balance is like "okay, yes i'm going to buy this 65 dollar foundation but like who needs food when your skin looks as smooth as a baby's bottom???" and this is not a good balance hahaha.

The UD naked skin concealer is like a holy grail product for me. I also just recently bought one of the Stila watercolor blushes and I'm in love with it

OH YAY! I've never heard of that primer, so I'll have to check if they carry that. Unfortunately they don't carry Nars. It makes me sad inside. But I'll deal with it, since I pretty much get all of this stuff for free because of the points system.

I have the UD setting spray, it's literally magic and an absolute must have. I actually own way too much UD stuff xD. And I also have the benefit mascara! I find it's great other then it's an asshole to get off.

Smashbox lipsticks are my jam. I think I own like 8 of them LOL. I'm going to have to check out that Stila liquid lipstick. Although I'm so clumsy with lipstick (my mouth is too dam small) that I have a problem with the large applicator. Do they have matching lip liners for them? I need them to tidy up my lines.

This is the website here. I hope you can see it, it lists all the brands!

Basically there's points and there's ways to earn extra points. I am a point-a-holic and I pretty much earn 170$ in free stuff every few months. And then I spend it on makeup!

GIRL I GOT YOU

I'm not sure how much the UD primer is but the hourglass mineral
Veil primer in the travel size is $25 AUD. I've had that primer since November and I've yet to come close to running out so idk if that'd be a cheaper option? I like this primer because you don't need much to prime your face and there's a nice consistency to it that makes you feel like you're not wearing anything at all.

The UD prep spray I got no clue. If you're talking about the setting spray though that just sets your makeup and does a great job of doing so

For concealer I use the NARS radiant creamy concealer and I like it. As for highlighter I use an eyeshadow from Illamasqua which I've yet to use properly but when I swatched it it was nice.

LIPSTICKS OK THIS IS MY SHIT
I gotta ask though what type of products are you looking for? I'm a liquid lipstick kinda gal so I find that the Stila All Day liquid lipstick has the best formula, it's creamy and smells like vanilla but it's not overpowering. It doesn't budge and the colour is so pigmented. I have Patina which is a pretty pinky nude but it may be a darker pink for lighter skin, I'm not sure what skin colour you are sorry.

Smashbox have great lip liners, UD I love the naked 3 palette, benefit has decent mascara (they're real). I've never used the site you have so I'm not too sure what other brands there are? Either way if you need makeup I'm your gal.
